This collection represents the Facial Expressions of the Soul, created by R. According to the Theory of Constructed Emotion, emotions cannot be detected through facial expressions nor are there universal emotions across people, nations, or cultures. Emotions are concepts that are constructed by the brain. A concept is like a compressed version of hundreds or thousands of past experiences and has been created by your brain to make sense of the world around you. This applies to the messy, subjective world of emotions. Emotions like 'fear', 'sadness', and 'happiness' are concepts just like any other. Just as your brain interprets a pattern of light as a 'window', it might interpret a pattern of bodily sensations as 'happiness'. These emotions don’t feel like concepts because we experience them so intensely, but they are. Explore our collection of Facial Expressions of the Soul and connect them to your Emotions. Every NFT comes with real-life artwork.
